International education is socially and economically important to New Zealand.
In July 2010 international (fee paying) students comprised 1.3 percent of the New Zealand school population. This report includes the findings of ERO's evaluation of 93 schools' provisions for international students.
The evaluation looked at four aspects of international education (schools' self review, pastoral care, quality of education and social integration) and concluded that most schools were highly effective or generally effective in all four aspects.
